1. **State the problem:** Calculate the volume of a right-angled triangular prism with legs 23 m and 38 m, and length (depth) 11 m.
2. **Formula:** The volume $V$ of a prism is given by the area of the base $A$ times the length $L$:
$$V = A \times L$$
3. **Calculate the area of the triangular base:** For a right-angled triangle, the area is:
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{leg}_1 \times \text{leg}_2$$
Here, $\text{leg}_1 = 23$ m and $\text{leg}_2 = 38$ m.
4. **Calculate the area:**
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times 23 \times 38 = \frac{1}{2} \times 874 = 437 \text{ m}^2$$
5. **Calculate the volume:**
$$V = A \times L = 437 \times 11 = 4807 \text{ m}^3$$
6. **Round to 1 decimal place:**
$$V = 4807.0 \text{ m}^3$$
**Final answer:** The volume of the prism is $4807.0$ cubic meters.
